Runs on your Windows PC · Your world stays yours · Free essentials
Status and manual controls are included in Free. Guardian monitoring shown in the app is optional Pro automation.
Start here
Your child asked for a game server. Here is what that means.
A dedicated game server is the shared world everyone joins. Gone Wrong Servers handles the Windows setup and gives you a clear answer: can they play with their friends tonight?
The shared world runs on your PC
Gone Wrong Servers installs the game's dedicated server on a Windows computer you control. You are not renting a server from us.
Friends join from their own homes
The app guides the connection setup and tells you whether people outside your home can reach the server.
The PC stays on while they play
Once the server is ready, players can come and go without the host opening the game. The hosting PC needs to stay awake.
Your part takes about five minutes: choose the game, name the server, and review the plan. The game-server download can take longer depending on its size and your internet speed.
How it works
Three guided choices. Then the app does the server work.
No command line and no server manual. Your choices take about five minutes; the game download may take longer.
Choose the game
Pick a supported game. The app loads a safe installation plan built for that server.
Answer the basics
Name the server, choose where it lives, and select the kind of gameplay your group wants.
Review and install
Read the plan before anything changes. The app installs, checks the server, and shows the next action.
All three setup steps are included in Free. Want to see what comes next? Tour every current screen, with Free and Pro automation clearly labeled.

Trust
Hundreds of hours live in that save file
We treat your worlds like they matter — because they do. That's the whole reason this app exists.
Your world is never collateral
Rollbacks are verified before they run, and the world being replaced is set aside — never deleted.
Imports don't move a thing
An imported server is managed exactly where it lives. Worlds, settings and mods stay in place, untouched.
No lock-in, ever
Stop using Gone Wrong Servers tomorrow and your server keeps running. Your files were always yours.

Parents ask us
The questions you should not need a server manual to answer
Straight answers before you install anything.
What is a dedicated game server?
It is a separate program that runs the shared game world. Players connect to it from their own copies of the game, so the world can stay available even when one particular player is not hosting from inside the game.
Does the server run on my computer?
Yes. Gone Wrong Servers installs and manages the dedicated server on a Windows PC you control. Your world and settings stay on that computer.
Does the computer need to stay on?
It needs to be on and awake while friends are playing. You can stop the server and turn the computer off when nobody needs it.
Can friends outside our home join?
Usually, yes. Connection Setup guides Windows Firewall and router checks, then helps confirm whether outside players can reach the server. Some internet providers may require an extra step or a different connection method.
Do I need to know networking or server administration?
No. Simplified view explains choices and problems in plain language. Experienced view and raw configuration remain available for people who want the technical detail.
Is Gone Wrong Servers a game-hosting subscription?
No. It is a Windows application that helps you host on your own PC. Pro adds optional automation and protection features, but the essential install, configuration, connection, and manual controls remain functional in Free.
